Polesignkid-How long do you leave the easy off on the sign? Have you used it on porcelain signs with good results? I have a sign with some oxidation and rust stains. Wonder if this method would be the best route. Thanks

Wet it with water then spray with yellow can easy off, then rub it in ,then just hose off...it work fast.....then repeat in areas it did remove as fast

Would anyone rec. using Barkeepers friend on a porcelain sign? I have heard some people have good results but others say not to use it. I am looking for the best method to remove rust stains without damaging the sign. Thanks.

I have never had any problems using Barkeeper's Friend on porcelain signs. It works great. I bought a Shell sign that had some bad rust stains and I cleaned it up with Barkeepers.
Here's a before and after.

If you use Barkeeper's Friend, do not leave it on very long. Work a small area with water and then rinse immediately. I have seen signs that have had the glossy finish "etched" or dulled from letting it sit too long.

I have alway had great luck with Barkeepers Friend but I never let it sit on the sign for a long period of time. I just rinse then reapply as needed.
